Differences from book section?

[edit]

Isn't it pretty standard for articles about movies-made-from-a-novel to include a section about the differences between the two? I checked the Harry Potter films' wikipedia articles and they tend to have one. If I was more familiar with the editing process I would write up some notes, but here's a good starting point: http://www.cinemablend.com/new/8-Big-Differences-Between-Ender-Game-Movie-Book-40120.html 174.65.10.224 (talk) 18:53, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

This was removed as 'O.R.' maybe someone can find sources: There are many minor deviations but here is a list of plot changing deviations:

  • The books have Ender recruited at age 6 and he is age 16 in the movie.
  • The books contain more violence, strategy and character development
  • The books have Ender fight the war from an planitoid/asteroid close to earth not from a distant plant.
  • The books contain no FTL travel until the 15th book Children of the Mind
  • In the books the fact that Ender is fighting a real war and not just a simulation is more of a surprise.
  • The Formic egg is not mentioned until the 11th book, Ender in Exile — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.168.13.21 (talk) 21:28, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Actually it was mentioned in the first book, only it was called the bugger queen egg - and was a part of the 3 subsequent books Ecragg (talk) 23:10, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Gavin Hood's commentary on the DVD discusses Ender's age choice in the movie, the lessening of the violence especially with Peter's fight (deleted scene), Bonzo's fight (keeping it short). The decision to cut Peter and Valentine's virtual leader stuff is also publicized. However, the comments about "more strategy and character development and simulation vs. reality are of opinion and original research. -AngusWOOF (talk) 02:43, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If it was sourced in the above link it wasn't OR and the editor who removed the text just didn't like it. --Maxl (talk) 11:30, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Editor 109.78.104.17 removed the "See also" section from this article that linked to List of films featuring space stations out of concern that it would attract WP:TRIVIA. Per WP:SEEALSO, such sections are good to enable readers to explore tangentially related topics, like the aforementioned list article. If other links are added that are not related enough, we can remove them. The Battle School in this film was highlighted by Space.com here, so it is not an indiscriminate link here. In addition, per WP:CLT, categories and lists are not mutually exclusive. We can have both, and the list is good to have here because of its explicit referencing.

See also sections are a dumping ground for barely relevant links. Lists are easy, prose takes effort. It would be better to use that Space.com article to add some interesting WP:PROSE to the article. Ideally if someone could find out about the Special effects or production design and add details about that to the Production section it would be far more informative to readers and more meaningful. -- 109.78.216.45 (talk) 00:20, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
